Today, we’ll cross into Italy to discover Courmayeur, a charming village nestled in the Aosta Valley with views of the south face of Mont Blanc. After a 30-minute drive, we’ll carve our first turns in Courmayeur’s ski resort. This spot offers a perfect blend of open runs and tree-lined trails, all with stunning views of the iconic mountain. And let’s not forget the Italian charm—we can always stop for a cappuccino at a cozy café or savor a delicious Italian lunch in a traditional mountain restaurant.

Today we’ll take the Aiguille du Midi cable car for a journey to the top of the Alps. Those ready for the challenge are in for a descent down the legendary Vallée Blanche—an epic 22-km (14-mile) off-piste glacier descent with a chance to ski all the way back to Chamonix. If you’re not up for the full glacier run, no worries—the view alone from Aiguille du Midi will be worth it, as will the iconic Montenvers train ride back to Chamonix! Our guide will assess our skills and make sure the day is amazing regardless of our run. If Vallée Blanche is not possible, we might head to Les Houches, Le Tour or another great resort close by.
